We believe in Democracy, but so what if 69% approve of Obama

Sure, we believe in democracy. But so what if 69% approve of Obama, we shall still oppose him tooth and nail and at every turn of the dice. That is what Republicans appear to be saying.

 Rush Limbaugh is crying out against the "central planners, the statist tyranny crowd in Washington."

Glenn Beck (Fox news) calls Obama "a fascist" and wants Americans to launch a "revolution". Even though there is a democratically elected President! Hmmm.

Michael Savage rants day and day out about Obama turning the country into a socialist heaven.

Mark Levin warns listeners that Obama is surely coming after their "private property" and their "liberty".

They believe in democracy, but even before 100 days of the new administration are over, they must rant and rave over the coming of the "anti-christ". 

No Indians in India

An American visited India and went back to America where he met his Indian friend who asked him: "How did you find my country?"

 

The American said: "It is a great country  with solid ancient history and immensely rich in natural resources. "

The Indian friend then asked: "How did you find Indians?"

 

Pat came the reply: "Indians? Who Indians? I didn't find or meet a single Indian there in India."

"What nonsense?" replied his Indian friend. "Who else did you meet in India then?"

 

The American said: "In Kashmir I met Kashmiris. In Punjab, Punjabis.  In Bihar, Maharastra, Bengal and Tamilnadu I met Biharis, Marathis, Bengalis and Tamilians respectively. I also met Muslims, Christians, Jains, Buddhists and many more. But nobody said he was an Indian."

Of course it is a joke. But like the court jester's utterances, this joke underlines a harsh reality.
